Subject: [PATCH 4/9] ixgbe: feature - driver to default with FC on.
Date: Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:33:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090401073343.3749.23654.stgit@lost.foo-projects.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090401073241.3749.36391.stgit@lost.foo-projects.org>

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@intel.com>

In the past flow control wasn't enabled by default under the
incorrect assumption that this opened up us to a denial of
service attack.  However since any switch that forwarded flow
control would be extremely msiconfigured and/or buggy, this
concern no longer out weighs the preformance gains from
having FC enabled.
